Municipal Appropriation Requirement Calculation

FY2012 STATE AID TO PUBLIC LIBRARIES PROGRAM

The Municipal Appropriation Requirement (MAR) for each award year is computed using figures for the three prior fiscal years. For each of those three years that a municipality received a State Aid to Public Libraries award, the figure used will be either the MAR or Total Appropriated Municipal Income (TAMI), whichever is higher. If the municipality was not certified for State Aid to Public Libraries in any year, the actual TAMI for that year will be used.

For the FY2012 grant round:

The FY2009 figure will be either the FY2009 MAR or the FY2009 TAMI, whichever is higher. If the municipality was not certified for State Aid to Public Libraries in FY2009, the actual final FY2009 TAMI will be used.

The FY2010 figure will be either the FY2010 MAR or the FY2010 TAMI, whichever is higher. If the municipality was not certified for State Aid to Public Libraries in FY2010, the actual final FY2010 TAMI will be used.

The FY2011 figure will be either the FY2011 MAR or the FY2011 TAMI, whichever is higher. If the municipality was not certified for State Aid to Public Libraries in FY2011, the actual final FY2011 TAMI will be used.
